didymo, first found in Va, in cold rivers, native to northern europe. Can coat stream beds.

any of you guys who wade the river should be aware that its thought the spread was due to waders or kayaks.Maybe this murky water color will help to stop it, like most plants it needs sunlight.

about that food source in the river.From what I have read dydamo or what ever that stuff is, coats the bottom of the stream, cutting off O2 to larva and other food sources.Till they find out how to get rid of that stuff, what food source?

In normal years the river produces some good hatches, regardless of the spread of dydimo. It is spread by boats, much like zebra mussles.

MAN ALIVE!!! I knew there were so smart guys on this board, but WOW!! I know NOTHING about trout, outside of "lake trout" they used to stock at Wright-Patterson when I was there, until I read this thread. You boys REALLY know your stuff here and it was not only interesting reading but VERY informative. The amount of in-depth knowledge on this forum continues to amaze me....AWSOME discussion!!!

For those of you that are interested, there is a good article about the new trout and Cumberland in the current issue of Midwest Outdoors, written by my favorite outdoor writer LOL!
